Careers

Research Scientist

About Us: KMLabs is the technology leader for high power, highest performance femtosecond laser systems, and the market definer for coherent EUV and x-ray sources.

Details: This position is for a scientist with subject matter expertise in femtosecond lasers, both in the Ti:sapph and Ytterbium fiber area. The successful candidate will have extensive experience in the research, design, assembly and maintenance of high average power, ultrafast titanium sapphire laser systems, or ultrafast fiber based laser systems. The candidate must be experienced in the diagnosis of ultrafast laser pulses, both spatially and temporally. A good understanding of non-linear optics and applications is needed, especially high harmonic generation. Additionally, knowledge of and experience with wavelength conversion schemes is needed. Occasional domestic travel is required for this position. In addition, grant writing skills are a must. Successful candidate will be responsible for obtaining SBIR/STTR programs to further product development and address new markets.

Required Skills/Knowledge:

A proven track record in ultrafast laser development and/or operation

2+ years experience is required in the conversion of ultrafast laser pulses to various wavelengths in the EM spectrum.

Knowledge of laser architectures, including DPSS laser systems

Knowledge of optics, optical systems and optical setups

Knowledge of and experience with pulse compression techniques and the management of dispersion.

High level of understanding and experience of the FROG pulse characterization technique and/or similar techniques

2+ years experience in the design and troubleshooting of vacuum systems, to UHV level
